Access hatches allow for safe, secure access onto a roof from inside of a building, reducing the risk of a fall by minimizing time spent at the edge of a roof. Kattsafe roof access hatches are designed with large openings for easy personnel access, even with tools and equipment, as well as safe and easy operation.

Roof access hatches have two major parts: the cover and the upstand. The upstand attaches to the roof, and the cover closes it off. Kattsafe roof access hatches are insulated so that no heat escapes your building. The insulation used for the roof access hatch depends on the building’s insulation.

Roof Access Hatch

Any time rooftop work is involved in construction, the chances of serious accidents or deaths increase. It can be easy to slip and fall, especially with hazards like unfavorable weather or wind. Even when the conditions are suitable for rooftop work, though, there are still dangers due to the elevation and roofing materials, plus gaps, edges and slopes on the roof. To eliminate these hazards and create a safe, compliant work environment, construction sites should have commercial rooftop access systems in place.

Roof Access Hoist System

Roof Hatch Hoist System

The Roof Hatch Hoist system provides a safe, easy method to lift items up to the rooftop. This system simply, quickly, and securely connects to the Roof Hatch Guardrail system allowing the contractor or maintenance technician to safely lift items such as small tools, compressors, and other equipment to the roof through the hatch. Aluminum construction and powder-coated finish allows for installation by one person and results in long term, low maintenance performance. Critical hardware components are manufactured of stainless steel to ensure protection against the elements. For aesthetic purposes, the top section of the roof hatch hoist can be easily dismounted when not in use.
